Phil Castlemain

Phil Castlemain (1865-) was a resident of Valentine, Nebraska during the late 19th century. He became a regular at the Smithfield Saloon in 1889 and spent ten years failing to make friends while getting drunk. In 1899, he approached Arthur Morgan and Lenny Summers as they were drinking and began to imitate them, but Morgan politely charmed him into leaving, telling him that they were talking about business. Later, while Arthur and Lenny were drunk, Phil attempted to approach them again, but Morgan took him outside and nearly drowned him in a pig trough full of water.
